About Professionalisation

London-based Professionalisation positions itself as a hands-on consultancy for small and medium-sized enterprises that want advice, accounting, marketing, staffing and administration handled by one provider. Rather than fixed retainers, it sells blocks of hours on a pay-as-you-go basis, with unused time refundable and an initial consultation offered free. Its accounting arm covers bookkeeping, payroll, VAT, year-end accounts and self-assessment for sole traders, limited companies and non-profits, together with company registration, a registered address and filings with Companies House and HMRC. Bundled software, including an accounting licence and employee-management tools, comes free for active clients. Staff are located across the UK and can visit on site for a travel charge. The website does not describe a foreign-client focus or any language other than English, so the practice is aimed at domestic owner-managed businesses seeking an outsourced back office.

Services

Bookkeeping, invoicing, payroll and pensions, VAT, self-assessment and year-end accounts, with quarterly reporting and business advice. Company registration, registered address and virtual phone lines, plus Companies House and HMRC filings and reminders. Support also extends to contracts, recruitment and HR, web design, social media, digital advertising and civil or commercial mediation, all charged against purchased blocks of time, so clients pay only for hours used.
